 Welcome to the World Summit on the Information Society 2016 in Geneva, Switzerland. And I am delighted to be joined by Hessa Issobouhamid, who is the Assistant Director General, Government Services and Pioneership Sector of the United Arab Emirates. And I understand that at a country workshop yesterday, you spoke about going from E-government to M-government to Mars. Now that seems incredibly ambitious. Well, yes. Let me start by thanking you for having me with you. What we spoke about yesterday was basically translation of the United Arab Emirates vision. And our vision is to be among the best countries around the world by the year 2021. And for that to happen, there are plenty of really hard work and new initiatives and projects that need to be launched. So what we talked about was basically the journey that the United Arab Emirates have taken right from the year it was founded in 1971, all the way to where we're standing right here in 2016. And what do we have left five years down the line to achieve the vision of becoming one of the best countries in the world? And you've put ministers in place to actually make sure that happens. I understand there's a minister of happiness, of youth, tolerance and most probably the minister with a very heavy mandate, the minister of future. Of course, for such a really big ambition to happen and a really big vision to actually be seen on the ground, a lot of structural things have had to happen and change in the whole structure of the United Arab Emirates government and cabinet specifically. And there where we introduced the very first time in the world to have a minister specifically dedicated for the cause of happiness and positivity and to introduce and instill the culture of positivity in the UAE. Along there, we also have a new minister that was appointed to become the minister of future where the main focus would be of how can we bring the future into today? How can we discuss and see how the future would look like? What new projects do we need to put in place? How will our country look into 50 or even up to 50 years down the line and so forth? The minister of tolerance is something totally new to the work of cabinet. But it is a necessity, especially that we are actually living in an area where tolerance is very much needed to ensure sustainability of any of the development projects that we have and to ensure that we actually spread happiness not only within among our own people but to our neighbors and to anyone who needs it from around the world. Perhaps you could just give us a sneak preview. Dubai of course is a smart city, but the minister of future, what are his future plans? Well, the minister of future will be focusing on the future of the whole of government of the United Arab Emirates, what he has on his agenda right now is how will our educational system look like into the future? How will our health sector look like? Will we be able to ensure the smart adaptation of all those new initiatives that we have? There's plenty on his plate and a lot of projects that have been launched such as the museum of the future were just so showcase and a place where people can come and experiment and see how the future would look like. And you may have attended or seen the WISIS prizes that were given here to innovators and pioneers of information communication technology. Do you have your own award ceremony in the region I understand? Well, that's correct. We actually hold and host a global award for the best government services award and this global award have been running for the last three years and will continue running. We are expecting the fourth cycle to be up running and probably December and the awards would be in February 2017. It focuses mainly on showcasing the best government services from all around the world, from all around the globe. We specifically focus on student participation as well in this and we do have 10 million sectors where participation can come from all around the world. Let it be the health sector, let it be the education sector, environment and so forth. But it's a great idea, it's a great platform and it's a great chance for the best mobile services to actually be shown and showcased to the whole world from this platform. Hessa Issa Buhamed, Assistant Director General of Government Services and the Pioneership Sector of the United Arab Emirates, it's been a pleasure to talk to you. Thank you very much. And please do tune in to the ITU YouTube channel where you can watch many of the videos that we have shot over the past week with key players who are trying to build the information society around the world.
